The Classic Rotors Rotorcraft Museum Piasecki H-21B Shawnee 'Flying Banana' taxis after an air show. It does not sound like a 'typical helicopter' because it is powered by a 9 cylinder radial piston engine, not a turbine engine as most helicopters today. In 1957, when the H-21 was built, turbine engines were just beginning to be used in helicopters. The first turbine engine helicopter, the Kama...

    In this video there is a small dot (dirt ) in the center of the lens bouncing around. A first sight I thought it was a dog running down the road, about to get run over... and I'm gettin' ready to unsubscribe. Ha. (Guess I shoulda' known better)

    My dad also worked for Frank and was killed in Canada April 21, 1955 in a Canadian Air-force H21. I have visited the site recently with a cousin, the daughter of my dad's identical twin. Thanks for the efforts of aviation enthusiast and to Classic Rotors for keeping these pioneers of aviation and their hardware alive. I am now 65, I still love aviation and those who pioneered helicopters. These videos are very much appreciated.

    In the early 60's as a young paratrooper we did military jumps from the H21. Took it a long time to reach 1200 ft with 12-troopers on board. Hooked the static line to a cable on the floor, had to be careful not to trip on it or the static line getting out the door. Skydived from it as well, found the rotors were made of wood when a broom stick baton we used to pass around was sucked up and through a blade while on the ground -- needless we lost the use of the H21 after that for skydiving.

    My dad worked for Frank for many years then later for VRTOL. It's nice to see that there is an old 21 still flying.
